According to the latest report by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), Reliance Jio runs the fastest data network in the country.

TRAI’s report shows that Jio had an average network download speed of 16.48 Mbps (megabits per second), double that of competitors Idea Cellular and Bharti Airtel, who measured in at 8.33 Mbps and 7.66 Mbps respectively.

In an ideal situation, with the network running constantly at 16 Mbps, you could download a 700 MB file in about 5 minutes and 50 seconds. That’s one decent quality (avi format) movie, ready to watch in just under six minutes.

However, a survey of mobile networks by private firm OpenSignal tells a different story. In the metros of Delhi and Mumbai, as well as the two states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, Airtel is leading with the pack with an average download speed of 11.5 Mbps, while Reliance Jio is far behind in fourth place, at an average of 3.92 Mbps. The survey claims to have collected information from 1.3 billion data points covering 93,464 users between December 2016 and February 2017.

4G download rates measured by OpenSignal

“The findings reveal that Airtel didn't just win OpenSignal's 4G speed award, it wound up on top of 3G and overall rankings as well,” the company said in a statement. “OpenSignal measured Airtel's average LTE download speed at 11.5 mbps, which was 3 mbps faster than the results measured on its nearest rivals Vodafone and Idea.” Reliance Jio’s only solace here, is that OpenSignal awards it the title of most available 4G, saying its testers on Jio's network were able to find a 4G signal 91.6% of the time.

The new surveys are likely to spark another round of tussles between Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio, as the two telecom operators have been at loggerheads for the “fastest 4G network” title for a while now.
